Coachella 2026 is officially underway. Sabrina Carpenter delivered a celebrity-packed headlining set Friday night, transforming the main stage into “Sabrinawood” with 20 songs and celebrity cameos from Susan Sarandon, Will Ferrell and Samuel L. Jackson. DJ Anyma canceled his midnight set due to dangerous winds. Next up: Justin Bieber makes his debut as a Coachella headliner tonight at 11:25 p.m. PT.
Lucky festivalgoers will frolic in the desert sun as a roster of artists, both established and up-and-coming, perform throughout the weekend. With its history-making headliners, highly anticipated returns and buzzworthy debuts, Coachella 2026 is shaping up to be one to remember.
On Saturday, Beliebers will be sent into a frenzy when Bieber makes his debut as a Coachella headliner. Despite his history of showing up as a surprise guest during other artists’ sets, this year marks the first time the Swag II singer is a billed performer.
Latin music takes center stage on Sunday, when Karol G closes out the first weekend with her highly anticipated, high-production set. The Colombian superstar, who is one of the few female reggaeton artists to go mainstream, will make history as the first Latina artist to headline the acclaimed festival.
